I've just installed LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 on my Centos 5.9 system. the previous version (3.4.x) was working fine. But 4.0.0.3 won't start up. When run from a terminal it prints:
no suitable windowing system found, exiting.

Or any hints for making it work?
Thanks!

Now I have LO starting, but the document (foo.odt) I'm trying to read (which works fine in LO 3.x on a windows box, both versions reading from the same shared folder out on the network) it claims is corrupt, asks if I want to repair it and instantly says it can't be repaired. Still works well on the older/windows LO. SIGH.

I had some other issues with some Calc macros that open URL links not working properly in 4.0.x, which worked fine on 3.4.x, 3.5.x, and 3.6.x LibreOffice as well as on older 3.x versions of OpenOffice.
This same issue happened initially on 3.6.x as well, but they fixed it by 3.6.2 ... so I suspect they will fix it on 4.0.x as well.
<snip> There's a simple fix... unless you like being an alpha tester for software, don't install prior to r.0.x, where x > 0....
